Major Shonen Jump Anime Has Exciting News for Dub Fans (But There’s a Catch)

by

A popular new anime based on a hit series from Shonen Jump premiered this month as part of the Spring 2026 anime season, and it’s exciting news for fans who prefer dubbed versions. The Spring 2026 season has already brought many new shows, including several major titles from Shonen Jump. One of these is an action series that finished its original manga run but is now continuing as an anime.

I’m so excited! Tadatoshi Fujimaki’s Kill Blue is finally here as part of the Spring 2026 anime season, and it looks like it’s going to be really easy to find – it’s going to be available on a lot of streaming services! Even better, the English dub is launching at the same time as the Japanese version. There’s just one small thing – it won’t be everywhere, so you’ll have to check where it’s available to watch.

How to Watch Kill Blue’s English Dub

New episodes of Kill Blue are now available as part of the Spring 2026 anime season and are streaming in North America on seven different platforms. You can watch on Netflix, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video, Rakuten Viki, Plex, the It’s Anime FAST Channel (available on Samsung TV Plus and Vizio WatchFree+), and the It’s Anime YouTube channel. An English dub is also available, currently on Netflix and Prime Video, starting with the premiere episode.

An English dub of the show is expected to be released around the same time as the Japanese version this spring, but it isn’t available on most platforms just yet. Keep checking for updates, as that could change soon! It will be worth the wait, though – Kill Blue is shaping up to be one of the best new shows this month, and the first episode has a really compelling start.

What Is Kill Blue?

Kill Blue centers around Juzo Ogami, a highly skilled assassin who has always approached his work as simply a job. Everything changes when he’s stung by a strange wasp from a powerful pharmaceutical company, causing him to revert to his teenage self. His boss then assigns him a peculiar task: investigate a middle school his company wants to acquire. Now, Juzo must navigate the challenges of everyday life in a younger body while uncovering a larger, unfolding mystery.

Hiro Kaburagi, known for directing titles like Great Pretender and Kimi ni Todoke, is directing the Kill Blue anime. CUE is handling the animation production, with character designs by Miho Daidoji (Kuroko’s Basketball, Kimi ni Todoke 3rd Season) and music composed by Ryo Konishi. Shunsuke Takeuchi voices the adult Juzo Ogami, and Yuko Sanpei plays the younger version of the character.
